End
bugs
End bugs should be placed at the end of the main body of text—or in a caption-only story, after the final caption. When the end of the main body text occurs on a page with a sidebar, the end bug should go at the end of the main body text.
In
some cases,
an end bug may
be used on a
final spread
with no main
text but with
multiple other
text elements
(captions, blurbs,
sidebars). In
those instances,
place the end
bug in the most
logical spot
and make sure
end bugs on
all similar
stories throughout
the issue are
treated in a
consistent fashion.
End bugs are
NOT necessary
for preview
pages, tables
of contents,
or editor’s
letters.
An end bug should be preceded by a fixed/thin space.
In
rare cases,
no end bugs
are used in
an issue. If
you wish to
omit end bugs,
please consult
with the copy
chief first.
